Rand Paul urges Harry Reid to ‘calm the rhetoric’ on Cliven Bundy
Daily Caller ^ | April 18, 2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 04/19/2014 4:20:28 AM PDT by opentalk

Republican Senator Rand Paul called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to “calm the rhetoric” on Cliven Bundy, arguing the Nevada senator’s “domestic terrorist” comment was “liable to stir up” the situation and lead to violence.

The Kentucky senator spoke Thursday night with Fox News’ Eric Bolling, who was filling in for Sean Hannity. “Is there any need to call Americans domestic terrorists?” Bolling asked.“No, I think what we should all be calling for is for calmer heads to prevail,” Paul said. “I don’t want to see violence on either side.”

“There is a legitimate constitutional question here about whether the state should be in charge of endangered species or whether the federal government should be,” Paul admitted. “But I don’t think calling people names is going to calm this down.

I wouldn’t bet against Shumer and his cutthroats to start leaking dirt on Reid. If the conservatives could learn how to get on message Reid would become a liability, but conservatives love to go off topic and spew lengthy essays on details, and boring everyone to death except the converted. Reid is dirty and corrupt and he is breaking yet more laws by trying to have Fed agents initiate violence.

Reid is a master of scapegoating. He brands people who have better values than his. His values are cowardly name-calling, dirty political tactics, lack of charity toward others, lack of principles, self-centeredness, egotism, back-biting, and partisanship at all times. He does not believe in America; he believes only in a political party.

Reid is psychotic. He should be institutionalized on a mental warrant.

Paul gave a weak response. The endangered species in this situation is Cliven Bundy and the courageous men and women who came to stand with him against coercive bureaucrats. That is the disappearing species in America, and that threatens freedom for everyone.

Sen. Paul should be calling on Reid to come clean with why he is so bilious about the Bundy situation.

So far as I know, Reid is the person in Congress to come out against Bundy, and the only one branding him and his supporters as “terrorists”.

Outside of Cruz, Lee, and perhaps a few others, the GOP will not risk media criticism by calling out Reid and his fellow rats.

How can we logically expect the GOP to turn around our headlong dive into tyranny if they cannot confront open corruption? We can't. It is therefore a silly to focus entirely on elections.

Reid is a nasty little man who literally has The Devil in his eyes. His physical appearance, whiny voice, and corrupt business connections make him an easy target. (He presents like Howdy Doody’s villain Phineas T. Bluster).

If he were a Republican, he would have been forced to resign and would already be serving time in a Federal Prison.

Like all Demon Ratz, Harry Reid is a rancher just like Cliven Bundy except that his cattle all have two legs.

Harry Reid is only concerned with his family and himself. The citizens of Arizona provide him the opportunity to grift on a large scale.

I fear you are absolutely correct.

Only violent revolution will stop a monarch from taxing its people to ruination.

Too many independent people know too much material on Reid not to have it eventually take it down. Daxton states in one of his blogs-book that Reid has been indirectly involved in at least 11 bribery cases. (Ala the one mentioned in Salt Lake tribune that has recently disappeared)

Also deeper inquires into the Reid history of real estate dealing (possibly tying it to the bribes or other money laundering )might be in order Something suspicious is going on:

Lee has ties to Reid from way back according to other threads.

If any violence happens it will be on Reids hands.

“Harry Reid is only concerned with his family and himself. The citizens of Arizona provide him the opportunity to grift on a large scale. “

Well, he also has concern for the Las Vegas/Reno entertainment unions, to the extent they continue to fund his reelection campaigns and continue to vote him in office. Speaking of family; where did he find his son, Rory, under a rock out in the desert? That’s one weird dude....

In the world of politics the criminal includes friend and foe into his criminal operation knowingly or unknowingly so as to eliminate his or her guilt when the light is turned on in the tenament and the roaches scatter for cover. It’s a collective, if Im guilty so are you therefore speak softly be nice and things will eventually dissapear
